Top of the World

Summary: The 3 rated Top of The World trail involves a long day of driving but some fantastic scenery and views.

Location: The trail leaves Highway 128 to the south just before the Dewey bridge crossing of the Colorado River around 30 miles northeast of Moab. The trail explores the area southeast of the Dewey bridge.

The Trail: Short, but challenging, climb to perhaps the most dramatic overlook in Moab. The exhilarating 7,000 foot high “Top of the World” panorama alone is worth the long trip. On a clear day you can see Fisher Towers, the La Sal Mountains, Priest & Nun rock formation in Castle Valley, Arches National Park and western Colorado. The Onion Canyon Narrows is equally impressive on the way out.

The trail leaves Highway 128 to the south just before the Dewey bridge crossing of the Colorado River around 30 miles northeast of Moab. The trail explores the area southeast of the Dewey bridge. Rocky uneven trail where getting close to the edge of the “Top of the World” viewpoint is NOT recommended. It is a very, very long way down. MUST TRAILER
